Wednesday:
Gillette Model #58 & Schick Platinum
D R Harris's H3
T&H Lavender shave cream
Clinique PSH
Trumpers Spanish Leather
This is my oldest shave brush of any that I still have ( meaning brushes that were new or almost new when I got them ). I bought it at Cambridge Chemists at the end of the '90s or very early 2000s but the brush had already been sitting in their shop for a long time. It's proven to be impossible to find out for certain who actually made it although I still tend to think that it was the old RA Rooney company ( when Priscilla Rooney still owned the firm as the last liner descendent of the founder...before Lee Sabini's time ). The brush is 'Best' badger style, is very dense and very soft on the face.

Fitjar East Indies A/S Balm

A decent blade, but a tad dull compared to a Dorco 301 (my regular blade).

RV Mesquite Shavemac Finest
DR Harris Arlington hard soap
EJ Barley w/7 O'Clock Dk Blue
Thayer's aftershave wh splash
Another fortuitous failed sale; this Shavemac knot is just about the best latherer I've ever used, and the Rudy Vey handle is ergonomic and beautiful. It's been fun dusting off some of these old favorites. Glad I held onto some things, whether I meant to (Harris soaps) or not (the brushes).
